Indeed, but where to start? It looks like a type of porgy to me, but not any porgy I have ever seen. And I looked on fishbase and still can't identify it.

blah, I'm not good at these type of games.

**Scuba Kid** · 07-28-2007, 08:48 PM

macolor macularis.

Ok... I answered it in chat...

Felicia · 07-17-2008, 05:38 PM

pterocaesio trilineata

OK my turn:

there isn't really a common name, so I'll take the scientific name. Sorry for the grainy pic, it isn't mine.

**Scuba Kid** · 07-17-2008, 05:57 PM

Are you just asking for the fish in Reef Central's logo? Otherwise, it isn't showing up because you're hotlinking. lol

Felicia · 07-17-2008, 06:15 PM

Oops. I fixed it.

**TheOldSalt** · 07-18-2008, 07:04 AM

Hey, kewl, that's a Brotula of some kind. I like those guys. Really hard to keep, but they're livebearers if you can.

Felicia · 07-20-2008, 12:32 AM

You're good. It is a type of livebearing Brotula. They can even reproduce in captivity.

I'll give you a hint: it's a temperate Australian species, grows to about 7 inches.

**Scuba Kid** · 08-07-2008, 08:08 PM

its been revealed that its dipulus caecus. Everyone got stumped.

new one. easy one.

MaelStrom · 08-07-2008, 08:24 PM

Chaetodon ocellatus

MaelStrom · 08-07-2008, 10:30 PM

Have fun!

**Scuba Kid** · 08-08-2008, 03:28 PM

Paranthias colonus?

Edit: I change my guess to Paranthias furcifer.

MaelStrom · 08-08-2008, 05:55 PM

Bah

Your turn

**Scuba Kid** · 08-08-2008, 09:32 PM

hehehe

This one might be tricky due to how the photo was taken, but it was one of the better ones I could find....if needed, I'll try to get a better shot.

MaelStrom · 08-08-2008, 11:12 PM

Fistularia commersonii
EDIT:Fistularia tabacaria
Figures that the blue spotted cornetfish doesnt have blue spots while the Cornet fish does

**Scuba Kid** · 08-09-2008, 05:04 PM

The blue spotted cornetfish does have blue spots. Fistularia tabacaria, the blue spotted cornet, is correct.

MaelStrom · 08-09-2008, 06:46 PM

Felicia · 08-10-2008, 03:12 PM

Haemulon macrostomum

MaelStrom · 08-10-2008, 04:21 PM

Correcto.
Are you going to hit us with the immpossible one now ?

Felicia · 08-10-2008, 07:46 PM

Go figure, I can't find a picture of it.
